Pack your bags and make sure you’re booked in the Pineapple Suite, because there’s more of “The White Lotus” on the way. HBO announced Tuesday that a second installment of the series from writer-director Mike White is in the works. As White told The Times, HBO originally ordered “The White Lotus” because they needed a COVID-friendly show that could safely film in a single location. Since it debuted last month, “The White Lotus” has earned generally — though not exclusively — favorable reviews, praised for performances by Coolidge and Bartlett and for its hypnotic score. “The White Lotus” is the latest seemingly limited HBO series to get a second season, following “Big Little Lies.” The hit “Mare of Easttown” also seems likely to return for a second installment.
